点评:We visited La Motte for wine tasting and dinner. We had booked the 4pm wine tasting on a Saturday, but upon arrival realised that a reservation was not necessary, as there were plenty of tables available in the tasting area. Dinner was booked through Dineplan with a deposit.
The reception area and gardens were especially beautiful and made a strong first impression upon arrival. The wine tasting experience was well presented and enjoyable.
We had an hour between the end of wine tasting and our dinner reservation, which we spent exploring the grounds. One of us had significant safety concerns about South Africa. The peaceful hour in exploring the gardens and estate at our own pace helped allay some of her fear.
I must admit that I overestimated our ability to enjoy a full dinner after a day of wine tasting. Although our appetites were somewhat diminished by then, the meal was excellent. The atmosphere was calm, refined, and a fitting end to our visit.
翻译:我们前往拉莫特酒庄品酒并享用晚餐。我们预订了周六下午4点的品酒会,但到达后发现无需预订,因为品酒区有很多空位。晚餐是通过Dineplan预订并支付了定金。
接待区和花园尤其美丽,给我们留下了深刻的第一印象。品酒体验安排得井井有条,令人愉悦。
品酒结束后到晚餐预订时间之间有一个小时,我们利用这段时间在庄园里漫步。我们当中有人对南非的安全问题比较担忧。这一个小时的悠闲时光,让我们得以按照自己的节奏探索花园和庄园,这多少缓解了她的一些顾虑。
我必须承认,我高估了我们在品酒一天后享用一顿丰盛晚餐的能力。虽然那时我们的食欲已经有些下降,但晚餐依然非常美味。餐厅氛围宁静雅致,为我们的旅程画上了完美的句号。
